Ashley Morris

Warrensburg, Missouri Travel Agent

Honeymoon & Destination Wedding Specialist

Hi! I'm Ashley and I own Alpaca Your Bags Travel. Our name is funny, but our service isn't: We plan amazing destination weddings, romantic getaways and vacations to the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii and more.

Have no idea where Warrensburg is? That's ok! I work with clients all over the globe. In fact, 85% of my clients are NOT in the Missouri area. We can FaceTime, Skype, Gchat and Facebook message until the job is done,

About Me: I'm a travel agent, former destination wedding bride (that's my real wedding photo!) and author. I specialize in Destination Weddings, Honeymoons & Romantic Getaways. Curious about working with a travel agent?

Here's 5 Reasons Why We Should be Working Together!

My Expertise: Agents invest thousands of hours in destination training, supplier training and visiting properties to make sure everything is as it should be. Why should you spend hours online when we know the answer in minutes?

I will save you time & stress: It's easy to get overwhelmed with the sheer amount of information online. I can quickly cut through the clutter and help you find what's right for YOUR trip.

I will save you money: Have you ever bought something only to find it wasn't what you needed? We hate that feeling! Our planning process is designed to uncover all of your wants and needs, helping you to find the best value for your money.

I've got your back: Unlike a big box store or anonymous website, I'm a real person who will be your advocate. My service does not stop when your final payment is made. We follow you along your journey until you return home, making sure everything is right each step of the way.

If you book online, you're already paying for an agent and getting NONE of the benefits! It's true; if you book a trip online, your rate actually already has the travel agent commission built in. If you book direct, that commission goes back to the giant corporation, not a local business.

When you book with a travel agent, you pay the *exact same* rates for your cruise, hotel or resort, but you get a LOT more for your money. You will benefit from our years of expertise, our access to the industry, our ability to fix problems and advocate on your behalf.

Since you’re paying anyway, why wouldn’t you book with an agent and get the service you’ve already paid for?

Finally, when you book with a travel agent, you’re supporting a local business, putting dollars into our community and for us, supporting a military family.

What are your qualifications?

I am a certified member of the Destination Weddings & Honeymoons Specialists Association and a graduate of the DWHSA Boot Camp.

Ashley's Destination Wedding - Bavaro Beach Punta

What can I say.. I would be lost without Ashley Morris and Alpaca Your Bags Travel! She has kept me sane throughout our entire wedding destination planning from meeting with us to help us figure out what we even wanted, to helping us track down the representatives at the venue to ensure we have all the info we need to keep planning. She took the time to personally get to know our personalities, likes and dislikes, quirks and must-have and came back to us with such well thought out and thorough recommendations. She's quick to answer any questions and always has our best interest at heart ... I highly recommend Ashley for any upcoming travel needs or destination weddings! - Alicia, Destination Wedding Bride

Superhero for our Honeymoon!

Ashley was super helpful with planning our honeymoon!! She answered all of my questions (I had a ton) and she made sure that we were taken care of while we were at our resort! We had a great experience and we will definitely be using Ashley and this company again!

Will go TO BAT for you!

So there's a lot of reviews that mention how excellent of an organizer and personally involved Ashley is in your travel. I 100% agree. But you should also know if anything goes wrong for whatever reason, she will go TO BAT for you.
During a destination wedding, we had an incident arise: a bus broke down and the company neglected to communicate any of their alternate travel arrangements to the waiting parties at the resort.
Ashley was on top of everything: talking to us and the travel company, escalating way up the chain until she got the answers she needed, and fighting for us on taxi reimbursement. It's worth mentioning here this was not a quick or easy process for her - after TWO MONTHS of phone calls hounding them and escalating things (with regular updates to us over email, both prompted and unprompted), we finally got our refund. Incredible support, and this level of dedication and having our backs is why I'd gladly use Alpaca Your Bags again, and would recommend it to anyone.

Destination Wedding Guest

Recently went to a destination wedding in the DR that had approx 50 friends and family that joined. Ashley was a great travel agent. She handled everything for the entire group. Flight, transportation to and from the resort, two excursions, the wedding, etc. you name it and Ashley took care of it! One of the best destination weddings I've been too!!!

Great Honeymoon!

When my fiancé and I started planning our honeymoon, we really had no idea where to start, what pricing we could afford or what was feasible for us with our budget. I had never used a travel agent before and had always thought we couldn't afford it. Boy was I wrong and will never plan another trip without one. Enter our greatest ally, Alpaca your bags. Ashley's travel expertise is unparalleled. She made us feel completely comfortable when determining our European honeymoon and had amazing advice on where to start and what to consider within our budget to fit what we wanted. We ultimately ended up getting exactly what we wanted exactly within our price range with even extras included like day trip excursions and travel to and from the airport. We honestly cannot say enough about how happy we are with our decision to work with Ashley and can't wait for our two week honeymoon in Spain!

She does all the work for you

This lady is great! She's very knowledgeable, puts in a lot of research, and will bend over backwards to help out her customers. Our family had a couple hiccups along the way (our fault, not hers), and she was more than willing to help.
I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a travel agent!!!

Very helpful!

Ashley is now my go to travel agent and can't wait to take another trip with her help!!

Ashley is a joy to work with

Reviewed By Claudine - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to

Ashley was an absolute joy to work with. I wanted to use a travel agent to plan my trip because my time is very limited. Ashley made it so easy to work with her. I accomplished nearly everything I needed to in a few short emails. She responded promptly to every one of them - even if only to say "I got it and I'm working on it and I'll get back to you in a week". It was great to know where she was at in the process and when I could expect an answer. I would highly recommend her to all my friends!

Worth every penny!

Reviewed By Julie - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to

I worked with Ashley to plan a couple of trips, Egypt and Argentina/Brazil. Ashley is very knowledgeable about the travel industry and was helpful with everything from air and travel details to activities and packing advice. She is extremely prompt in replying to any questions and is always friendly. If she didn't know an answer, she was determined to find the it, no matter how obscure the question. I can't recommend her highly enough. You may ask, why would I ever need a travel agent (I know I asked that!) The answer is, time is precious. It's worth it to have someone knowledgeable do all of the legwork for you so that your trip is a true vacation.

Ashley is my "Go-To" for All Things Adventure!

Reviewed By Tiffany - Richmond, MO | Traveled to

Travel is my passion! I am always in search of adventure. Since my first conversation with Ashley, she instantly became my go-to for all things adventure! She is extremely efficient, flexible and user-friendly! I love the way I can contact her any time. Just recently after returning from my first Solo Vacation, made possible only by Ashley, I was in need for a re-visit! I contacted her Christmas afternoon and asked if it were possible to fly from KC to Miami? Within moments I was able to effortlessly secure 2 round trip, last minute, flights from the Mid-West to South Beach! Best Christmas surprise ever, and it was only possible because of her knowledge, talent and genuine care for others and their sense of adventure! Every chance I get I brag on my travel agent with Alpacayourbags.com!!! If you have a budget and a destination in mind, she will make it happen every time!!
